5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to operate your blender:

- Secure Lid: Place the lid firmly onto the pitcher. Ensure it is properly sealed to prevent splashing.
- Plug In: Plug the blender into a standard electrical outlet.
- Select Speed: Turn the control dial to your desired speed setting (Speed 1 or Speed 2). For short bursts of power, use the Pulse function by turning the dial to 'P' and releasing.
